Description: A dramatic design that emphasizes views of Mount Tamalpais sits on more than 4 acres in San Rafael’s Dominican neighborhood. The Midcentury was designed by architect Mark Mills, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The single-story four-bedroom home is believed to be the only one Mills designed in Marin County. An abundance of natural materials were used in the home, including timber in the parquet floors and open-beam ceilings, and a towering stone fireplace in the living room. Built-in furniture is found throughout the home, part of the adaptable and timeless Midcentury design. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and corner windows in the dining room create a showcase for the tree-studded landscape. Modern stainless steel appliances finish the kitchen. The home is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Learn more at www.215locust.com.
